One thing I noticed in Mark's fight with Viltrumite Azula is that he was sandbagging way too much. As in, too many hits to the gut or the face, not enough hits to try and disable his opponent. You'd think a man who's dedicated to the principle of not killing would know how to disable an enemy who can hit at his own level.
I mean, a seasoned fighter looking to disable something as dangerous as a Viltrumite would've gone for her knees or her elbows. Come on, Mark, break some bones, make her bleed! If you break her arms, she can't punch or stab, and if you break her legs, she can't stand or fight for shit. Hell, pluck out her eyes or her trachea, and you've got a crippled opponent that you can deal with or leave at your leisure.
It's like what Terry Silver said in Karate Kid 3 and Cobra Kai; ''A man can't see, he can't fight. A man can't breathe, he can't fight. A man can't stand, he can't fight.'' If Mark wants to stick to his do-gooder code of not killing, then crippling his enemy should've been paramount. Hell, even the evil Mark Grayson from the other dimension knew it, and he used that against the buzz-cut version of Atom Eve when he paralyzed her.
I think the show should have just deviated from the comics and made its own thing with focusing on the father son dynamics. Nobody gives a shit about discount pink lantern, small girl that is "actually 40 year old" who turns into mature male rape monster, and self incest asian. It's insane that the few times those shows can improve shit by altering the original material they don't (especially as the internet is littered with spoilers about it anyways).
That's the thing; once the Viltrumite shit starts to heat up, everyone else becomes irrelevant. That's why I wanted the OG Guardians to have lived; they're strong enough to still matter once the Viltrumite cock-flexing starts to go full-gear. They almost took down Nolan, whereas the new Guardians are about as useful as a screen door on a submarine against a Viltrumite assault. Kind of like how the other Z fighters in DBZ became rather worthless when the show focused on Super Saiyans.
It could have been cool if the show had the Vilurmites have zero tolerance for their weakness being found out, basically kill every thing on the planet so the secret won't leak. So even if it's mundane weakness, it will be discounted because obviously someone tried it yet it didn't work out. Anyways I like when shows make the super hearing be more of a mental weakness than a physical one. Like you are bombarded by heinous shit you can't tune off.
I'd say so. Like say, the Viltrumites come to a planet intending to conquer it, but the moment someone uses sonic weapons against them, they pull back to their ships and start glassing the planet to ensure every last SOB on that dirtball dies and takes their knowledge of the Viltrumites' weakness to their glass graves.
And they want to delay seasons as a result
Basically, yes. And so, we have to wait until 2024 to see the conclusion. Is this the end for Omni-Man? Will Mark get to read Nolan's books? Is there something important in those books that Mark needs to know? Will Mark be forced to conquer his own planet for the Viltrumites? What is Thaedus' endgame? What will become of Mark's half-breed brother? Find out in the next exciting episode of Invincible Ball Z! Only on Amazon Prime!
